    Hi, I'm trying to find info on Cherry Bushes. I have three coming and can't find out much about them. Would you happen to know if they can be grown in large pots rather than plating in the ground? Thanks, Jaz

    Hi Jazmine,

    Let's see if we can help you. Do you know the names of these cherry bushes, preferably the botanical names. Also, how large of a pot do you plan on growing them in?

    Thanks for responding so quick! I haven't recieved the Flowering Cherry Hedges yet so I don't have much to go on. I hadn't seen bush cherries before but just planted bush blueberries that are ok for patio pots. I guess the pot size would be as big as it takes (within reason). I can plant them into the ground but a pot would make them taller,
    faster, and strategically placed along the fence would block a nieghbors window.
